Al Gore Calls Myanmar Cyclone a 'Consequence' of Global Warming
Business & Media Institute ^ | May 6, 2008 | Jef

Using tragedy to advance an agenda has been a strategy for many global warming activists, and it was just a matter of time before someone found a way to tie the recent Myanmar cyclone to global warming.

Former Vice President Al Gore in an interview on NPR’s May 6 “Fresh Air” broadcast did just that. He was interviewed by “Fresh Air” host Terry Gross about the release of his book, “The Assault on Reason,” in paperback.

“And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated,” Gore said. “And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China – and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.”

Algore knows better, but he makes dishonest statements like this so he can continue to line his pockets on the backs of the stupid.

Heh, no, sir, there really is no depth to which I won't sink in order to blame America's cars and light bulbs for the deaths of thousands.

“I wonder if St. Al has seen this”

But the warmists will claim those don`t count because they were before 1971!!!

To show how utterly ridiculous this is getting, there was an episode about the Little Ice Age on the Discovey Channels “Mega-Disaster” series today. They said climate change (The Little Ice Age) caused the Revolutionary War.

To be that big of an ahole, you have to practice at least 8 hours a day, every day.

Actually, this cyclone is very unusual in that sea surface temperatures in the area are well below average right now and no cyclone should have developed with these ocean temperatures.

In other words, freak of nature versus global warming.

"I wonder if St. Al has seen this"
 
St Al needs to report to Rome.  The pope condemned the fear mongering just a few months ago:
 
The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom

Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.
 
The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.

Al Gore himself is a “consequence” of failed birth control.

Do you have any evidence that St. Al gives a rat's rear end what the Pope says?
